What is this?
It was not a hot day this pic was taken in January), there was no runoff suggesting the rockpool was contaminated and I wondered if it was some early gamete shedding. It wasn't crystallized out salt either.
Nodule north of Runswick Bay.
The shale is full of these inclusions. They're much harder than the surrounding rock. Crack some and you get lovely whole 3d ammonites (most around here and flattened and beyond recovery) , crack others and you get a crystralline interior that smells of oil. Try and crack others and you blunt your rock hammer and get a jarred arm.
